I have a few items priced to sell, and for pickup only (60616). Quick rundown of the components on the pc. Abit ip35-e, Intel e6750 (running stock voltage @ 3.2) 4gb g.skill RAM, Seasonic x650 gold psu (with extra modular cables & bag.. think it still has a few years warranty left)...

Molex mini-fit jr. series, 1 row, 5 contact housing. They seem to be the connectors used in the Corsair HX-series for the 12/5/3.3v peripheral and SATA power cables. So far, I've found Heilind which requires a minimum order of 35 pieces and $15 shipping. Mouser, digikey, and...

More than anything else, I'm always finding myself shipping small items, usually no bigger than the size of a pink eraser. A lot of small electronic parts.. transistors/fuses/capacitors/resistors and misc ic's, microsd card, flash drives, cable adapters/connectors, keys, screws and other...

The only panel-mount grommets I know how to find are the various cable-grommets which won't fit most cables unless I hack off the connectors. Now after a bit of searching, I found 'flexible' grommets but could only find them for those 3" grommet holes in your desk. I'm looking for one...

I love my logitech wireless mice. I've used their wireless mice for several years now and haven't once experienced any issue with connectivity. Plug & play, no detectable lag, no stutter or any connectivity issues, with the only side-effect being battery life & the 1-second delay when coming...

I had a copy of win7 RC1 running on a second partition alongside XP. I just deleted the win7 partition and expanded the XP partition to fill the entire hard-drive. Win7 however still shows up on the windows boot manager. How do I get rid of the boot manager screen completely? When I...

I'm not working on any top-security projects or anything. I'm just looking for a simple way to format my hard drive so my credit card information and passwords won't be easily recoverable by the next person who acquires it. Any preferred software for this? Also, what is the most...

I know, it seems really unorthodox. Some while ago, I pulled out a hardcover book to use as a temporary mousepad, and I've been using it ever since. The book I was using turns out to be a old, north Korean stamp album that my dad acquired on one of his trips. The hard-cover is covered...

I currently have several devices that work on wireless G, but I am getting a new netbook that supports wireless N. If I upgrade my router to one that supports wireless N, I know it'll work with all my current devices, but will my netbook be able to take advantage of the new router, or will it...

I'm looking for passive or active speakers with 3"-5" drivers, around $50-$200 that would be good for music & movies from about 1 meter away. Small speakers have their limitations, but I have limited space on my desk. 4" would be the ideal compromise between the two but I'm willing to...

I haven't really seen much talk about netbooks here but I'm hoping theres a large handful of you who own one/done the research and can help me out. I'm looking for the following in a sub $300 netbook, although something closer to $200 would be ideal Performance - Anything that can handle...

Will pay $90 for a silver Ergotron LX shipped to chicago,il that is in good condition with no mechanical issues/degredation. If you live close to a CTA stop near downtown chicago, I can pick-up and pay with cash. heatware under jamesL, and also feedback on ebay(jleeebuyer) & head-fi(jamesL)

I'm transferring a bunch of files over from my laptop through my wireless router, and the transfer speed averages about 500kbps. Router and wireless adapters are specified to work "up to 54mbps" and the average throughput of 802.11g seems to be 22mbps if I understand correctly. Can I make...

Is there a way to set up ctrl-alt-del so it goes directly to the task manager? (like it does in XP) I found that I could use ctrl-shift-esc after some searching and have been trying to use that for the past month. Maybe I'm just odd, but I just couldn't get used to it... :(

Build 7100. I have firefox pinned on the dock but every once in a while, the active window doesn't show up on the dock (if I click on the icon, it'll just open a new window instead of restoring the currently opened window) I go to the task-manager or alt-tab to find the window again, but...

Other than sli/xfire support, socket type, and other factors that deal with raw performance(speed), is there any difference? My dad wants me to put together a HTPC... I was thinking a asus M3A78-EM and a Athlon 64 X2 7750 would be perfect, onboard hdmi/spdif support, low psu requirements...

My parent's have a fairly large house, and while the wireless G connects well in the living room, it doesn't reach all the way to my parent's room. What is the most sensible way to improve the wireless connectivity so it reaches to the other end of the house? Running longer wires would...

I am selling 2x1gb of Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800mhz memory. It's the same one from this review. http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/Crucial_Ballistix_Tracer_PC2-6400/index.shtml I have ran this RAM at 800mhz at the default voltage, and never ever had problems. I have never...

I'm contemplating on purchasing the grandia gd02, but the branding w/ the snowflake logo is kind of a eyesore, and I'm wondering if it can be removed. I know that some silkscreens can be scrubbed off with a sugar cube without damaging the surface of the aluminum. Has anybody tried removing it?

I haven't kept up with new video cards for a while, but I'm planning on getting a smaller PC chassis, and installing cooler/quieter components. Although I don't do any gaming, I purchased a hd3850 a year back because it had very acceptable performance, and I thought it would last me a...

I'm enjoying a very nice headphone setup right now, and I'm looking to replace my current cheapo speakers, with some smaller cheapo speakers. I understand that small and cheap has it's limitations, so I'm looking to take what I can get. Does anyone have something small and relatively...

I'm thinking that I want to get a water-cooling rig, with little other reason than to, 1 - reduce dust intake into system.. 2 - quiet down system, without sacrificing cooling. I know air cooling is preferred over wc for ultra-quiet pc's, but I don't want to sacrifice too much cooling...

Is there any affordable method of lettering or printing a logo on an anodized aluminum surface or other hard surfaces? The same kind of logo-branding that's on just about everything I have, from my ball-point pens, mouse, headphone, speaker, etcetera... No doubt the machinery is expensive, but...

My friend's computer basically died.. He couldn't install Linux, and he says he tried formatting the drive when trying to re-install windows... I was over at his place at one point, and upon bootup, it said it was missing a file, and I wasn't able to access it through window's recovery...

I want to upgrade either my headphones or sound card. I can do one of two things - 1. Sell the Auzentech Prelude - $145 shipped 2. Sell my headphones - $100 shipped - no longer for sale, see post below. Edit.. I stopped bumping, but if anyone is browsing 9+ pages back.. I'm...

First off, I know very little about speakers.. Say I wanted to hook up 2 bookshelves and a sub to a two channel amp, how would this work, so I can control the volume through the preamp/amp. Would it be something like Source/Transport -> dac -> amp -> sub(passive?) -> speakers? Or am I totally...

I know theres different compression methods for audio - FLAC, AAC, APE, etc.. Can I do the same for DVDs? I want to rip a couple to my external HD when I go back home summer break, but I want to fit as much of my favorites in there without sacrificing too much quality. Also, what are some...

Recently, I bought something off another member and he said that the item got returned to him for some reason, and he said he reshipped it using the shipping address under my Paypal account. Now... he said he used FedEx... and the address under my Paypal account is a PO box number. Now, I've...

I'm not a big overclocker, but I like keeping things cool & quiet, so I was thinking about getting a true or tuniq120 w/ noctua nf-p12, which would both set me back about $60-70. I don't want to spend $50 for a heatsink, when I'll have to toss it when I upgrade my motherboard and cpu when I get...

If I've ripped a CD onto my PC or MP3 Player, and I've sold or traded that CD, do I still have rights to the music on my PC? And I haven't been keeping up with the latest legalities, but is DVD-ripping still illegal? thanks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

I already have decent headphones running off a Auzen Prelude, and plan to upgrade later along with dedicated dac/amp solution, so I want some speakers for the occasional times I have friends over, or I don't feel like wearing headphones. I plan to spend $70 for a Z-2300 which I think would be...

I'm not a [H] gamer, but I've downloaded ATI Tools, RivaTuner, and Crysis. At Idle, ATI Tools and RivaTuner both report my idle fan speed to be 0%(even though the fan is spinning, slowly) When i boot up Crysis though, the fan goes up in small increments, and at 90 degrees, it was only...

Read Article... I thought that was pretty interesting.. I've only owned an ATI gpu, running on XP Pro, and I thought ATI had driver issues... but it seems like nVidia has problems of their own... (they topped microsoft in this category for heavens sake.. although it's probably a little...

I don't know how well these thing expand and shrink, so what size PET would you recommend for throughputting a DVI cable, Power cable, and a USB cable? How about for fan headers? I figured since all three of these are connected to my monitor, might as well keep them bundled up. I also need...

I'm looking for the cleanest possible power options, to drive my speakers and headphones. Now I don't know much about how PSU's work, except that they convert AC to DC... I don't know the inner workings of the voltage regulators on a motherboard, and how energy is transferred from one bus to...

I was trying to check out an item from ncixUS - and I bounced into this.. Should I worry about this? Should I just click "confirm security exception" and proceed to check out?

All the reviews I've read about this card lists the driver as a weak point - Has things changed since? When they talk about poor drivers, do they mean.. - missing features - buggy/crashes/etc - messy.. hogs resources.. startup apps/utilities.. - others - all of the above? I'm not...

I just got my Denon D1000's, and holy hell... these are incredibly nice for a entry level headfi'er. I wish I could do a review and say how nice it is, but I don't have a camera, and I don't have enough experience to analyze and compare with other headphones. =P Basically, bose comfort, but...

True or no? I'm running on a 250gb drive right now, but I want another 640gb(2x320), or 750gb(3x250) drive for storage. My most important/irreplaceable data will be backed up to my laptop, but I want a drive with a relatively small failure rate for all my other stuff, until I can afford a...
